UPD 12.13.2008



In celebration of the foundation day of the University of the Philippines on June 18, 1908 the University will dedicate one day of exaltation to its icon, The Oblation. Through the years, The Oblation has inspired multitudes, standing as monument to the University’s tenets of academic freedom, excellence, and patriotism.As UP celebrates its Centennial Year, the Centennial Committee will host yet another milestone event that is bound to be written in the pages of history. This event is titled “Hail, UP Oblation!” - a photo expedition that will feature 100 Oblation men from all sectors of the University.At the break of dawn on the 13th of December, the 100 Oblation men will pose for a photo op, replicating the figure of the Oblation monument. Models will be suited with a crafted fig leaf. As the 100 Oblation men pose, photographers will be given time to capture the moment by interpreting the meaning of the Oblation through their camera lenses.Top Philippine photographers including media will be invited to this photo expedition which we hope will land on the cover of TIME magazine and the front pages of national dailies. As of this writing, we already have confirmation from both local and foreign press photographers that they will cover the event.Let’s join hands for this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Maraming salamat sa patuloy na pagkunsinti, ehhem pagsuporta ni ria sa mga eccentricities ko. This shot was taken on Dec 13, 2008, 4:30 am sa UP amitheter. 100 brave volunteers were called but only 84 have the balls to pose naked (well almost) in front of media men and usiseros. Its one of the things that would immortalize my endearing support for my school.sabi nga nung orginizer eh "Stand Proud, This Happens Only every 100 years", kaya naman maangas ang mga poses namin. Ibat-iba nag mga participants but most of them were alumni na makakapal ang mukha. Pang number 3 ako sa listahan dahil medyo maaga ako sa venue (hehe excited).May event nga rin pala after the photo shoot which is "UP para sa bayan". Pahinungod ng mga ibat-ibang UP sector sa palibot ng oval. Pero syempre klangan ng umuwi kasi may pasok pa sa work.Sabi nila mas astig daw kaysa oblation run kasi hindi nakatakip ang face, although may dahon naman ang putotoy eh we make sure na keri naman ang maliit na costume.
